At a special meeting called by fhe School of Speech it was decided that their elections should be run on the same basis as those o? Liberal Arts.
The former system used by the School of Speech has been the cause of much confusion and disorder, therefor the students voted on the new system in which candidates for office will be required to get petitions before running for office.
After finishing the selection of the eight acts for the Senior Road Show, members of the committee declared that the entertainment offered by this production will rival that on any of the Orpheum bills. John Woods, president of the senior class, at the class meeting Friday, declared that this year's show promises to be the cleverest and peppiest seen in Bovard Auditorium. He feels that the entire student body will back this performance as strongly as it did the “Extravaganza.”
According to the Road Show committee, these acts have been chosen to fit as vital parts in a smooth, fast-moving program. It is guaranteed that there will be no waits between acts as the arrangement calls for one full stage act followed by a front curtain act, or an act in front of the drop. The performance will be as well staged and lighted as any professional bill.
Ray McDonald, regular stage manager of all University productions, and member of the Road Show committee, is to handle the stage for this occasion. Pete Dinard, who has handled the lighting effects in the past, will manage the electric effects for this Road Show. Ray Pinker as chief property man, and Al Chase are also on the stage crew. McDonald has been declared to be one of the best-fitted men in stagecraft in Southern California, as he makes sets, and instructs classes in stagecraft. He is president of the National Collegiate Players and of the University Glee Club.
STAGE CREW TO ASSIST

Ray Brennan, manager of the Neal Ames freshman debate tournament, announces that the wording of the question to be discussed has been changed to read: “Resolved: That fraternity and sorority pledging at U. S. C. be prohibited until after an enrollment of one year in the university,” instead of a year and a half as previously announced.
All freshmen considering entering the contest are requested to hand in their names to Sam Gates as soon as possible. The preliminaries are to be held on Monday, May 18. At this time the four best debaters will be chosen by competent judges and two men on each side of the question will put forth their arguments in a final debate before the student body at the regular rally period on Firday. May 22.
“The purpose of this contest,” said Bernard Brennan debate captain, “is to stimulate interest in debating among the freshman class. S. C. has grown into such a formidable university along forensic lines,” he added, “that the freshmen have little opportunity to take part in any important tournament, so, to provide this opportunity, Mr. Ames three years ago offered a beautiful cup to be competed #>r by the freshmen each year.”
JOLLY BACHELORS TOSTAGE BRAWL
The sophomore class of Dental will give their dance tomorrow night at Ryan’s on Figueroa street. This is the place where the Junior Bachelors for so many years held their dances
Three affairs of this sort are given every year by Dean Lewis E. Ford for all the students of the Dental college. For admittance, it is only necessary to show a Dental student body ticket. Dean Ford has the juniors, the. sophomores, and the freshmen each take their turn at the planning and managing of one of the dances.
The president of the class. Homer Church, has selected to arrange for a hall: Bill Dunmire, Brig Bennett, A) Colby, and Trueman Partridge. “Tony” Harpst has chosen a very popular orchestra on the campus, which will be on deck about 8:30.
The members of the refreshment committee, Ted Griffin, Frank Brown, and Harold Johnson have decided to become very popular by having something like strawberry shortcake or ice cream and cake instead of the timeworn red water which usually flows so freely.
Dean Carroll, Orville Ward, Walt Heineman, and Charlie Dorr are planning a little entertainment in the form of one or two of the best acts from the recent minstrel show. Joe Bresee and Tony Harpst might be persuaded to play a Cast duet on the piano. It is will be possible to get “’Luke.” a most marvelous imitator of Gilda Gray, those who were unable to witness the minstrel show will see a very clever hula hula.
There is going to be a dancing contest. the winner of which is to receive a hammered silver trophy. This will be held shortly after the intermission in which the entertainment is presented. As this is to be the last Dental dance of the season, every effort is being made to make it at least as much of a success as the previous ones, which were held at the Friday Morning Club.

Wampus Bachelors was founded by Okey King, editor of the Wampus, in January, 1924. Among the traditions of the club is the iron-clad rule that no member may take the same girl to two Bachelor social affairs.
Initiation of new members will be held at the Sigma Tau house, Wednesday night at 9:45. A late hour was set in order that all the senior men might attend the “Snap” at the Theta Sigma Nu house earlier in the evening. For the first time, a complete ritual of initiation will be nsed.

Southern California will also play host to a graduate of California on this occasion since the vice president of the Security Trust and Savings bank. Mr. Alfred C. Calkins, has agreed to address those present on the general subject of “The Place of Banking in Business.” Sin^- the Commerce Club will be present and the event will be a “Commerce Night,” Mr. Calkins has indicated that he will conclude his speech a few moments before his time is up and throw the assembly into an open forum. Questions are asked to be brought to the dinner and Mr. Calkins will be pleased to attempt to settle any points concerning banking that are not clear to the students present at the dinner. *
Sidelights of the legal side\of banking may be expected as Mr. Calkins, in addition to his duties as vice-president of the Security Trust and Savings Bank, also acts as legal adviser and counsel to the institution. Not only the banking routine itself as related to business will be touched upon but the legal aspects of finance will be revealed.

Ray Brennan, manager of the Neal Ames freshman debate tournament, announces that the wording of the question to be discussed has been changed to read: “Resolved: That fraternity and sorority pledging at U. S. C. be prohibited until after an enrollment of one year in the university,” instead of a year and a half as previously announced.
All freshmen considering entering the contest are requested to hand in their names to Sam Gates as soon as possible. The preliminaries are to be held on Monday, May 18. At this time the four best debaters will be chosen by competent judges and two men on each side of the question will put forth their arguments in a final debate before the student body at the regular rally period on Firday. May 22.
“The purpose of this contest,” said Bernard Brennan debate captain, “is to stimulate interest in debating among the freshman class. S. C. has grown into such a formidable university along forensic lines,” he added, “that the freshmen have little opportunity to take part in any important tournament, so, to provide this opportunity, Mr. Ames three years ago offered a beautiful cup to be competed #>r by the freshmen each year.”
JOLLY BACHELORS TOSTAGE BRAWL
The sophomore class of Dental will give their dance tomorrow night at Ryan’s on Figueroa street. This is the place where the Junior Bachelors for so many years held their dances
Three affairs of this sort are given every year by Dean Lewis E. Ford for all the students of the Dental college. For admittance, it is only necessary to show a Dental student body ticket. Dean Ford has the juniors, the. sophomores, and the freshmen each take their turn at the planning and managing of one of the dances.
The president of the class. Homer Church, has selected to arrange for a hall: Bill Dunmire, Brig Bennett, A) Colby, and Trueman Partridge. “Tony” Harpst has chosen a very popular orchestra on the campus, which will be on deck about 8:30.
The members of the refreshment committee, Ted Griffin, Frank Brown, and Harold Johnson have decided to become very popular by having something like strawberry shortcake or ice cream and cake instead of the timeworn red water which usually flows so freely.
Dean Carroll, Orville Ward, Walt Heineman, and Charlie Dorr are planning a little entertainment in the form of one or two of the best acts from the recent minstrel show. Joe Bresee and Tony Harpst might be persuaded to play a Cast duet on the piano. It is will be possible to get “’Luke.” a most marvelous imitator of Gilda Gray, those who were unable to witness the minstrel show will see a very clever hula hula.
There is going to be a dancing contest. the winner of which is to receive a hammered silver trophy. This will be held shortly after the intermission in which the entertainment is presented. As this is to be the last Dental dance of the season, every effort is being made to make it at least as much of a success as the previous ones, which were held at the Friday Morning Club.

Wampus Bachelors was founded by Okey King, editor of the Wampus, in January, 1924. Among the traditions of the club is the iron-clad rule that no member may take the same girl to two Bachelor social affairs.
